Mistake We Made // Pros and Cons of First Look

Mistake We Made // Pros and Cons of First Look

This one gets personal for us because guess what we didn't do on our wedding day?  Yup, first look... That's the mistake we made.  We didn't listen to our photographer nor anyone else and yup... that is our #1 regret of our wedding day.  Why are we writing this blog?  So that you won't have the same regret as us and learn from our mistake.  We got married almost 12 years ago and when we think about this, we still say, "ouch".  Our photographer had 10 minutes max to take portraits of the two of us.... We only got 4-5 photos of just us.

Stories are powerful... the story of someone makes you understand that person more and deeper.  It allows you to have more compassion and feelings towards that person.  One privilege we get to have in this job is to to hear our couples' stories... how our couples met is one story that I love hearing.

I believe that every encounter and every relationship that you have in your life is for a divine reason.  I believe that everything happens for a reason... reasons that's beyond our comprehension sometimes, but I have faith that it's all for my own good and that it's for the Lord to complete His story in me.

The "first" of anything is worthy of documentation and is always memorable.  Like when a mom sees her baby doing anything for the first time, it warms her heart and it's forever engraved in her mind.  Well, we had this special "first" moment with Nina + Frank.

Friends... We all want them and need them.  Without them, what is life?  Even with your future spouse, isn't it all about finding your best friend?  We all desire a companion... someone we can go to, someone we can talk to, someone we can cry with and most importantly, someone we can trust.

Many photographers have asked us if it’s worth attending a bridal show.  Our answer is always, “YES!”  I mean, why wouldn’t you?  Hundreds of brides come TO YOU!  We have met countless brides and couples there and it provides 25% of our annual income.

Our previous client referred us to Ashton and Victor and we were so grateful that they did.  Totally remember meeting Ashton at Cafe Intermezzo with my wife and learning about her and the plans that she had for her wedding.  One thing we learned about her was that she is someone who makes decisions well and executes her plans.  She came with just a few questions and after answering them, she simply booked us 13 months before her wedding date.

We couldn't believe it when Kelly inquired us about her daughter's senior portraits.  We totally remember her baby Hannah when we used to attend the same church years ago.  We were like, "wait... Hannah?  She's a senior in high school??!"  Wow... it's unbelievable to me how fast time is flying.

Going to Ashely + Bryan's wedding, I had no doubt that it was going to be a fabulous day.  If you remember their engagement shoot, it was gorgeous... Learning their style through that shoot gave us high expectations for their wedding and of course, they exceeded them!  Ashley's dress was just amazing and it had a unique quality that we just loved!
